Answers to: How to make use of AIIC's VEGA network?http://interpreting.info/questions/2640/how-to-make-use-of-aiics-vega-network<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I think I've read all of AIIC's pages on VEGA but it seems I'm missing something. I contacted a "mentor" from the network but never heard back. I thought students could contact someone who would like to "advise those considering a career in interpreting or newcomers in the profession," as indicated on the VEGA pages.</p>
<p>Did I get it wrong? And now that I didn't pass my course am I even eligible to contact a VEGA member?</p>
<p>Thanks much! </p>enMon, 10 Jun 2013 11:03:19 -0400Answer by Michellehttp://interpreting.info/questions/2640/how-to-make-use-of-aiics-vega-network/2647<p>VEGA, which is AIIC's "world-wide network of professional conference interpreters dedicated to helping budding and junior interpreters pursue their fledgling career" (see the <a href="http://aiic.net/vega/">VEGA website</a>) is open to queries from interpreting hopefuls, students, graduates, newly accredited interpreters - and yes, those who have failed their finals ;). </p>
<p>As VEGA member for Spain, I try to reply to all queries that come my way in a day or so. I'm sure most of my colleagues are the same. If you didn't receive a reply from your rep, something may have got lost in the shuffle. Anyway, I'm sure Vero will be able to answer your questions. </p>
<p>However, If you feel you'd like advice from someone closer to home, feel free to contact me :).</p>MichelleMon, 10 Jun 2013 11:03:19 -0400http://interpreting.info/questions/2640/how-to-make-use-of-aiics-vega-network/2647Answer by Verohttp://interpreting.info/questions/2640/how-to-make-use-of-aiics-vega-network/2643<p>Dear colleague,</p>
